you know what though? the original post didn't sound like a joke. you gotta be careful on public boards.. if you are gonna "joke around" by calling someone's disibility "discusting" at least put a funny smiley face or something to show its not serious.

its text.. i can't hear tone of voice.. and i dont know Lain personally to know that maybe he is a stand up guy.

I , personally, think it's incredible how he had his throat cut out and can still sing like that. I think he's awesome. I prefer Antwon & Nikko but Mr. Federov is extremely blessed.

No doubt. Anyone who has had that done and can still sing like that is a gift from god.

And then God put him on American Idol? If so, I think that proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that God is a real asshole. Granting people talent and then squandering it for fifteen minutes of fame during which they sing absolute shit...

Edit: By the way, I don't like the attitude that people can't joke about other people's disabilities. I joke about everything. Me being a skinny nerd who constantly has the shakes, etc., etc. Everyone jokes about fat people and skinny people and every other kind of person. No, of course what the guy's been through isn't funny, I think everyone knows that. But I think by making it off limits for jokes, you're just making the hole in his throat a bigger deal.

I don't really think disabilities are really funny I mean would you look at someone in a wheel chair and laugh? No I don't think you would but then again I dunno because you think disabilities are funny.
